Dust to Glory

[cubfan1968]

Just finished watching a movie about the Baja 1000 called "Dust to Glory" produced by Dana Brown. Good flick, well worth the time.

Great movie to give you an idea of what long distance desert racing is like. For me, it was a thrill to see a legend like J.N. Roberts racing.

Just a note for people on the subject of J.N. Roberts and other Greats.  J.N. was king of the desert when there was no suspension.
